Well, I have finally decided that I should write something on this blog - as I have very little worth reporting, it won't be particularly interesting reading - but I will attempt to contribute a little bit to the blogworld, as I really enjoy reading about all the people out there with interesting and enviable lives!
I have actually been inspired by my sister-in-law's sister (is there a name for such a familial link?), who is a very creative, crafty and cookingy (pretend word) person. And my sister-in-law, who has just started a blog too and is very artistically creative too. Mrs PB and Ruby Two Shoes both love animals as well and had a really idyllic childhood on a farm near Motueka. Their parents still live there and it is a real treat to visit as it's a beautiful, peaceful place. It's great to be a part of their family - well done for marrying into such a wonderful one, Mr Ruby Two Shoes.
This weekend was a long one - Queen's Birthday. Sigh, God Save The Queen. Hmm, not really, as I am not at all royalist, but I'm not going to begrudge an extra day on the weekend. I tried to be a little productive. I had some time to myself on Saturday as my lovely boyfriend (MLB) works all day (although he has just resigned and will only have to work half days every second Sat now - yay). So I went to the massive book fair at Founders and bought about 8 books. Then I watched a couple of DVD's - Michael Clayton (OK) and No Country for Old Men (excellent). On Sunday I went to Spotlight (a fabric, manchester, bit of everything for the home store) and finally got around to buying some fabric to make my first quilt. It is entirely possible that I will start the quilt, but not actually finish it - much like I started knitting a scarf, but haven't actually finished it. Then MLB and I went to Mitre 10 to look at plants and things and we took my gorgeous dog Flynn (Chocolate Britches is named for him, although his fluffy britches are more ginger in colour) for a walk on the beach. When we got home I made some curtains for the kitchen windows - they are red like the kitchen cupboards. The kitchen and lounge are much cosier now.

Today I did lots of cleaning while MLB was out this morning. When he came home, he had a lovely present for me - a rimu framed picture of Flynn - the same one as the main blog picture. It's lovely. Later we took Flynn for a walk up the Maitai for an hour or so and MLB took some photos, including the profile picture of Flynn at full run. I have added a couple of photos - I like how green the grass is and how blue the sky is.
Watching and waiting.

Oooh, how exciting!!!!! Another family blog. Can't wait to see progress on various projects in your life. And updates on Mr Flinny Britches. We didn't do much today, although our foundation was ready for us to go "into" every room and inspect proportions and views etc. So exciting. I packed about 5 things in a box, and got sidetracked by some gardening books. I'm definately having an edible garden with a formal structure, and pretty scented things, herbs and a Mediterrean flavour with an English Country influence. Lots of love XXX
Good luck to you on your blogging endeavor. I came across you because you listed The Secret History as one of your favorite books. Me too. Love the name of your blog.
Ha ha ha welcome to the teenagers -now adults, world of communication. More and more Im stunned when given a new blog address! Makes me lol. No really. But...it is a wise idea for us whom live a few ponds away and particularly when crossing bigger ones with adventures to share. Economical ?? on time and a novelty. Hmmmm. I may have to step into your shoes! Anyway Megan, this is fun and lovely writinig by the way. Talking about books, cant wait for you to read 'Water for Elephants'!
